"Been practicing piano?" Dr. Bailly asked the Arizona eighth grader. Yesterday, she commented on her piano habits after a sentence mentioned another Lindsay who banged the keys.

Her sentence: "Just between you and me, the phrase 'between you and I' is a solecism that makes Head Judge Mary Brooks cringe."
Lindsay misspelled, though, and is out.
